Try SIPPS works fine on mine. http://www.sippstar.com There are two VoIP standards. H323 (an open standard) and sipps a proprietary standard. If you have a Linux firewall, you can build an h323 module. There is no module for sipps, so you might have a problem with a firewall. I'd stick to H323 apps. Ciao, David A.

You can screw some apps with that, but not all. Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional. The US is fighting over how to regulate VoIP... which can only mean trouble. Because a number of long distance phone carriers have moved to VoIP for their backbones. So they don't pay the phone tariffs. Telephony has entered the era of the horseless carriage.

Who makes the PhoneJack cards that you recommend? What's the deal with the tariffs placed on VoIP, specifically I think I remember hearing about Panama. What ever became of that?
